I've had bad luck with the generic lamps. Cheaper is not the answer. My neighbor works w/ amazon and basically said go with the best warranty. I bought from TWD, but the key is the 180 day warranty. Some 30 day warranties are just about right as the bulbs rarely lasted more than 3-4 mo.

This is not an original lamp but works fine. No replacement filter included.My original lamp was from Philips, this is from Osram.

I went to Sony Web site and they do not show that model # but KDF-55XS955 and this lamp will fit that model. I had bought from Sony at over $225 and they last not much longer than after market @ $32 so I keep a spare. My TV is 9 years old and about 2 years is all I get. I think you will be OK.

since all of these are generic what I look for is the one with a longest warranty and cheaper price. The actual casing of the lamp is all the same but the bulb is the same as what sony uses. Or you can call a tv repairman and charge you $150.00 to $250.00 for a 5 Min. Job. Again what you are looking at is the age of the tv ,if the cooling fan isn't working right it will overheat the bulb.

Yes, what you see is the lamp and housing make sure to clean out dust and use latex glove. When handling new one

Yes, this is what the book has listed as a compatible model. What error is the screen showing? The lamp may only last 4 months like mine did because i had an over heating problem as well in the unit because it kept telling me the filter was dirty.

It would be the same (aftermarket replacement), but it is not made by Sony. If I were you, I would find a Lamp at a reasonable price, with a warranty longer than 90 days (hopefully 1 year). If your old lamp is still working, switch it out with the new one you buy, as soon as it comes in. You can keep your older lamp as a backup if the new lamp stops working during your warranty period. If you wait until your old lamp dies before you put the new replacement in, you are eating up your warranty period just sitting there (assuming your older lamp is still working when you order the replacement).

No, this is the filter holder. If you get a chance to order replacements with your original order . . . DO SO! I have not been able to find replacement filters in over two years of searching.

Yes, but It needed a official Sony lamp which costed more. I think think bulb was good but the housing for the bulb was not the right fit.

the ad says "Sony AC L200" and it also says "by Sony", and one of the reviewers says "Good OEM product", and another says "the power supply is an original Sony part..." Yes.

Hi - no. This unfortunately is far from the oem in terms or brightness and quality. Don't waste your money. It comes in a housing and the bulb is not replaceable like the OEM. I got it, put it in and realized it wasn't as bright. Basically held on it until I got the good bulb which is this one: PHILIPS KDS-50A2000 KDS50A2000 Bare Lamp XL5200 This a high quality Philips with the screw down posts, etc.

Hi Mike S. I am at work right now, but I checked my order to see if there was a brand name on the order. It says it is a "Sony XL-5100 Replacement Lamp with housing". When I get home tonight, I will check the lamp. It is still working great, by the way. Katie

The Sony brand is perfect match.. Takes five minutes to change the bulb.. Read the owners manual, its in there..

Yes, the original filter is included. The instuctions say to replace once per year.

I went back to the Amazon page where I bought the original unit; underneath it, lower on the page, I found this: Hamilton Beach 04230FS True Air Replacement Filter, 3-Pack.

No. The one I got was definitely not a genuine Sony lamp - the company told me that Sony doesn't actually produce their own lamps and that original ones are made by Bosch or someone (I don't remember now). But this one here is not original, and the one I got stopped working after turning it on twice. Do not buy it!! That's my recommendation at least...

I didn't see a line on my screen after replacing the lamp & housing. I will speak to the other comments though. The OEM lamp & housing did not have SONY printed or etched anywhere on the unit & I suspect SONY contracts these out to the lowest bidder anyhow. My replacement has performed flawlessly & is much brighter than the OEM part, as I would expect from a 8-9 year old part. I have had the replacement for about 2-3 weeks, so I can't testify about longevity yet. I'm completely satisfied to save $200 on a bulb!

This is not a genuine SONY part...nowhere it bears the SONY mark or seal. When I compare the original part with this, there is a lot of visual difference. Having said that, I've been using it for almost two months and it's been working fine My only disappointment is that it didn't come with the Filter that was promised.
